W._ J. Ottei'bein, Hensall war vet

when he brought along his own doc
umentary evidence to present to the
pensions tribunal Tuesday last for
pension.
He kept a dairy in France, and it
proved his best friend in court.
■Whenever’ a quetsion was put to
him about his military service and
its relation to his disability he turn
ed the leaves of his little book until
he found all about it.
“I wanted to have it all down in
black and white,” the veteran de
clared. “So I kept my own military
file.”
'Commission counsel objected be
cause it was admitted the notes that
Mr. Otterbein brought with him in
to court were copies of the original
dairy.
“I wish I did 'have the original
here, I could show you some funny
things about the war,” Otterbein
said.

Wihat a pity that some firms are circularizing the trade that
prices must go. .up. What we,want is more trade, more movement in
commodities rather than higher prices. Price raising is the way
to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. Some alleged fellows

It was night and Jesus was" a hunt
ed man. He had come into Jerusal
em under cover of darkness and had
made his way to the Upper Room to
share the Passover Feast with his
disciples for the last time. He knew
that the end was near. Also he was
■conscious that one of his own dis
ciples, one of the twelve, a table
companion was about to betray him
The treachery was made . worse by
the traitor eating out of the same
dish with him. Perhaps their hands
touched as they dipped bread in the
bowl together. To this day Arabs
will not violate their standards of
hospitality by harming one who has
broken bread with them in the tent.
When the sad news was announced,
the disciples did not begin to accuse
one another. Each asked, “Is it I?”
Jesus did not answer the question
directly, but Judas understood that
the Master knew. Many attempts
have been made to excuse Judas and
to tone down the blood-guiltiness of
Ills crime, but Jesus did not mini
mize the offence. He said: “Woe to
that man by whom the Son of Man
is betrayed! good were it for that
man if he had never been born.”
Such were -the words of condemna
tion from the gentle lips of Christ.
With the strange telepathy of sor
row, the eleven disciples felt the
Master’s mood.
A Hymn and a Walk, 26
Though almost under the shadow
of the cross, there was no panic
either in speech or action. In the
use of the bread and wine, Jesus gave
thanks and the sacred meal conclud
ed with the singing of a hymn, pro
bably a selection from Psalms 115-
118. This is the only time we read
of the disciple group singing together
but doubtless they often did. We
wonder if Jesus sang with them on
this occasion. If he did, it shows
what marvellous control he had over
his tense emotion. Leaving the Up
per Room, they made their way in
the darkness for two miles, or more
to the mount of Olives, to the Gar
den of Gethsemane. We can only
surmise what were the thoughts of
Jesus during that walk, and what
were the thoughts of the eleven dis
ciples. Outwardly all was normal

ance, promising that after he wag
risen, he would go before them into
Galilee, the scene of their many

meant! Later they understood.
First Judas, one of the twelve had
been singled out as a traitor. Then
the eleven were told that they would
stumble. Now Peter, another of the

ANNUAL VISIT
An estimable couple from Seaforth
visited a Clinton green nouse on the
24th, which visit has become an'
annual event. Twenty-seven years
ago on the Queen’s birthday, they
were married, and for a brief out
ing came over to Clinton to observe
the gr^en house stock and to purch
ase pjlants or (flowers. On every
anniversary of that day since that
time they have made the same visit,
sometimes driving horse and buggy
sometimes by train and lately by
motor. On one occassion, for some
reason, the wife could not come and
the husband came alone by train.
Bidding him good-bye, the lady re
marked, “Now, if you do not Come
back, on the train the next time I
■will suspect that you have .met Somd
one you like better than me. ” After
making his purchases in; Clinton lie
proceeded to the station only to find
the train had pulled out for Seaforth
a few minutes before and the good
lady met the train only to find no
husband returning. Having missed
the train, he Started to walk, the 9
miles to his home town With his
arms full of flowers. Luckily he was
given a ride part of the way. Year

HAS A BAD TANG
Lots and lots of people have been disappointed at the implied
threat, on the’ part of the United States, of a tariff war should the
approaching business Conference in London not go exactly as she
wishes. Has the recent success of the amazing Roosevelt gone to
the Yankee heads? It look like it, the more’s the pity.

EVER THINK OF IT
A farmer related this experience the other day. A man pre
sented himself at his farm asking for work, the remuneration to be
the laborer’s board. The farmer engaged the man for a nominal
wage saying that he really could not afford help at any price but
that he was willing to give the man a chance for a few days, A
good meal was given and the laborer worked well for about an hour.
Then there was a decided falling off in his efficiency. The same
was true after the supper meal and after breakfast and so on for
some time. “Now” concluded the farmer “that man is not worth
his board. He’s lazy. He’s simply a good-for-nothing.’
We related this incident to one of our experienced farmers.
Said the farmer, “That poor chap simply has not the feed in him.
We know how it is with a horse that has been idle and that,has not
been properly fed. He simnly can’t work. The fibre is not in
him. More than that, that-'poor chap has not had his mind on a
job for more than a year. His mind is down at the heels as well
as his blood and nerve and muscle. Feed that chap, keep him at
his work for a couple of ,weeks or so, and he’ll come back. Just
now he simply has ho more work in him than there are diamonds

THAT LONDON CONFERENCE
There’s to be a big business Conference held in London, Eng
land, to get things in the financial world moving a little more
briskly. Two dangers confront this meeting. The first is that the
folk .will mistake the present business activity foT the return of
the days preceding 1929 of terrible memory. Well, those days
simply are not here and every money till knows it, Should those
who forgather in London entertain any such foolish notion they had
better stay at home and hoe corn.
Out Of this baseless assumption is liable to come the action
tliat has cursed nearly every such Conference—-the unhallowed, self*
seeking arid private-interest promoting that will strangle any ef
fort that man can put forward, for the bettering Of conditions. As
it is, plain folk are looking to the coming Conference with a good
deal of heddshdklng and Hp-pdrSIng, Let’s hope that otir fears
are groundless, in the meantime let’s follow the cobbler’s Whole
some example and keep pegging away. We wish the Conference
well, blit We greatly fear that it Will prove just Another occasion
for talk ahd jockeying and endless sidestepping, ,
